This is somewhat off-topic and I ask for your forgiveness - please don't shout and don't write back to the list telling me my message is not appropirate as it will create unnecessary (extra) noise to others, on top of the noise I already made :)
The reason I post the message here is because this is the only place I know that has many international members and some are from Asia. I am helping a new client from South East Asia to move his web server to a new host. He said there were number of email from visitors that the website loads very slow and asked me to find one in the North America. Client has DSL broadband and he thinks his website loads slow. My browsing experience on certain countries' websites lead to a same conclusion that everything is slow. While I understand there are many factors contributing to slow loading, I would like to know if web server speed is one of the many for I think it's best for client to host his web server within his country if the web server from which country isn't the main concern for speed. Please write me off-list Thank you! tee ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
